BC Lions - New Owner? Do they lose Bighill and others to the NFL, Leone signed with Arizona today. Can they get some crowds back?
Calgary - Can they still be a 15-16 win team, any word on a new stadium or putting some money into McMahon
Edmonton - Some big holes to fill, Deon Lacey is gone, Walker probably too. Does Edmonton bid on the 2018 Grey Cup ?
Saskatchewan - Lots of questions going into season 1 at NMS. Is Durant back, if not who is the guy - James Franklin? Can Chris Jones improve the O and D lines and get some Canadian talent
Winnipeg - Can they build on the momentum and stay in the playoffs, do they sign Nichols for what he wants?
Ottawa - What do they do at QB if Burris wants to come back, can they maintain talent to get back the GC at home, and will it be a big success in the nations capital with the whole Canada 150 etc.
Hamilton - Can Collaros stay healthy (or the rest of the team), who is the new DC?
Montreal - new regime, new coaching staff (does Noel Thorpe stay) can they find a QB (is at Adams, do they make a run at signing Durant?)
Toronto - where to start - lots to fix - Do they keep Milanovich and Barker? If they aren't get on with it. Can they be relevant in TO? Is Drew Willy the answer - what happens with Ricky Ray? Is too much cap space tied up in 2 QBs who are meh?

Will overall attendance go down? Can they schedule help without catering to TSN too much

Addition:
What's the next thing the CFL is going to do to try to improve officiating, to not only improve the game, but placate fans of a number of teams upset with a number of apparently bad calls that VP Glen Johnson admitted were bad? Also, will the CFL make further changes to the replay rules to cut back on questionable challenges?

Huge issue. The cure consisting of all the new rules introduced over the past decade but in particular over the past few years are, from a fan standpoint, worse than whatever disease there was previously, and it's a major buzzkill for fans who actually buy tickets to attend games. The CFL needs to confront this fact head on instead of constantly dancing around it.

Yeah, I missed that, it is a DEFINITE must this off season

I also forgot the fan CFL Fan Week in March in Regina with the combine, players etc. was a great idea. I think the NFL has copied the idea too

You know more about the Argos then about 99% of the population here. It's hard to get excited about the CFL when Super Bowl is just around the corner.

Hervey seems to find those hidden gems for the Esks the past few years(Lacey, Walker, McCoil, Grymes) who go NFL-bound so don't be surprised if someone else steps it up for the Esks next year and plays lights out. Kenny Ladler and Brandon Zylstra can replace both Lacey and Walker in Edmonton I believe.
I also hope we can keep Franklin but if he wants to start, Sask may be calling him.

Toronto...let's hope we see some turnaround there. I want to see that stadium sold out for game nights. So much potential there, so little desire from the fanbase.

I hope actual bum-in-seats attendance goes up this year. This league needs it badly.

All the BC fans out there, any names being thrown around as to potential buyers of the Lions? I heard the Aquillini's(sp?) at one point but that was awhile ago.

Go Pats!

To each his own, but I can't get excited about football (or any other sport) in a foreign country.

On challenges, unless the command centre agrees that the play should be reviewed, there should be a penalty (delay of game) assessed on failed challenges. When the command centre agrees to the review and the challenge fails, then the current loss of time out should be assessed.

I think it will be good for the league if the Eastern Conference is more competitive in 2017.

Of course, but I cannot be one of them. The problem is that divided loyalties is holding back the progress of the CFL big time. Too many Canadians look down their noses at their own league and their local team. No wonder the stadiums are not sold out.

How can the east constantly be the weak sister year after year? There have been some seasons where the divisions have been roughly on par, but to my mind it seems like the east is usually the also ran group with maybe one legitimate contender team per season. I don't get it.

It would help if the East quarterbacks were healthy for the entire season.
